Convert to Improper Fractions: Step $1$ : Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier addition. $\newline$ $10 \frac{1}{3} = (10 \times 3 + 1)/3 = \frac{31}{3}$ $\newline$ $3 \frac{1}{3} = (3 \times 3 + 1)/3 = \frac{10}{3}$
Add Improper Fractions: Step $2$ : Add the two improper fractions. $\frac{31}{3} + \frac{10}{3} = \frac{31 + 10}{3} = \frac{41}{3}$
Convert to Mixed Number: Step $3$ : Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number. $\frac{41}{3} = 13$ remainder $2$ , so it's $13 \frac{2}{3}$ .
